I never met Joel Cyprus ’59, ’61, ’63 but I’ve heard enough to know that he was a legendary teacher as well as a key participant in the Rice Computer project.

It makes me smile too, as if we’re in on the same joke:

He passed away only a couple of years ago. Here’s link to his obituary in the Jewish Herald Voice—it’s well worth a read.

Bonus: Allen Center Oaf. This is another old one that made me snicker.
